Sure, Puppet's got its problems, like any other tool does, but lots of people are using it today to huge advantage.<BR/><BR/>We're working on making it better, and we're getting really significant contribution from all around the community.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Luke Kanies (author of Puppet)lakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646105613773377850noreply@blogger.com
